The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the instructions, when executed by a computer processor, comprising functionality for: receiving, from the contributing user, a second configuration data item of the first type that is used by the computer server to further configure the first localized version of the software solution, wherein the first localized version is further accessed by the contributing user to perform a second pre-determined task in compliance with the first local requirement of the contributing user; further receiving, from the contributing user, a second contributing user attribute specification from the first plurality of system selected user attributes, wherein the second contributing user attribute specification specifies a third user attribute of the first plurality of system selected user attributes; and generating, in response to the second contributing user attribute specification, a second search tag assigned to the second configuration data item of the first type, wherein the second search tag comprises the third user attribute of the contributing user.
This invention relates to a computer-implemented system for managing localized software configurations. The system allows users to customize software solutions to meet specific local requirements while enabling efficient retrieval of configuration data. The problem addressed is the difficulty in managing and retrieving localized configurations in a scalable manner, particularly when multiple users contribute different configurations for the same software solution. The system involves a computer server that stores a software solution with multiple localized versions, each tailored to different local requirements. Users, referred to as contributing users, can submit configuration data items to further customize these localized versions. These configurations are used to perform predefined tasks that comply with the user's local requirements. The system also allows users to specify attributes from a predefined set of system-selected user attributes, which are then used to generate search tags for the configuration data items. These search tags help in categorizing and retrieving the configurations based on the user attributes. When a contributing user submits a second configuration data item of a specific type, the system further configures the localized version of the software solution. The user can then access this version to perform additional tasks that comply with their local requirements. The user also provides a second attribute specification, which the system uses to generate a new search tag for the configuration data item. This tag includes the specified user attribute, enabling better organization and retrieval of the configuration data. The system ensures that the configurations remain compliant with the user's local requirements while improving searchability
